Parasolid Import Options dialog box

Specifies the import criteria to apply to Parasolid files selected for the import task

Specifies the data types to import and how data is grouped in Autodesk Inventor. The file type selected for the task determines the available options.

Access:
	With a Parasolid file selected in the Import Task dialog box, click Options.

Save Options
Specifies how components are saved.
Save Components During Load	Select to save imported components to disk automatically after they are translated. Saves part and assembly files to the paths specified in the destination edit boxes that are in the same grouping. If you save files, existing files with the same names are moved to the Old Versions folder.

Translation Report
Specifies whether to embed the Translation Report or save it to disk.
Embed in document	Select to generate a Translation Report and embed it in the part or assembly document. This option is selected by default.
Save to Disk	Select to generate a Translation Report and save it to disk.

Entity Types to Import
Select to import the entities: Solids, Surfaces, Wires, Points.

Data Organization
Specifies how data is created in the Inventor file.
Import Assembly as Single Part	Select to import an assembly as a part. Not available if you select Import Multiple Solid Pat as Assembly.
Import Assembly as Single Part	Specifies how parts are recreated in the Inventor model. Available only when you select Import Assembly as a Single Part. Single Composite Feature Imports all the parts in the source file as part of a single composite feature in the part environment. Multiple Solid Part Imports all the parts in the source file as individual solid bodies in the part. Adds to duplicate file names a suffix with a colon and an incremental number, starting with 1, such as :1.
Group Name to Place Data	Specifies a name for the composite group. Available only when Create Surfaces As selection is either Single Composite Feature or Single Construction Group. Default Applies a default name derived from the type of object followed by an incremental number. Previous Manually Entered Names Provides a selection list of names you entered manually into this list box during the current Inventor session.
Create Surfaces As	Specifies how the surfaces are imported into the Inventor file Individual Surface Bodies Each surface is created as a single surface body in the part modeling environment. Each surface body has its own browser node that is a child of the root node. Single Composite Feature Each surface is created as a single composite, regardless of what level, layer, or group they originate from. The result is only one composite note that is a child of the root node. Single Construction Group Each surface is created as a single group in the construction environment regardless of what level, layer, or group they originate from. The result is one group node that is a child of the construction folder node.

Units
Specifies the units to use for non-native data in the import file.
Import Units	Provides a selection list of units. If you select a unit type different from the one specified in the import file, you convert the parameter values in the import file.

Post Processes
Specifies the processes to perform on the files you import.
Check Parts During Load checkbox	Select to perform a quality check on the imported data. Checks each body within a composite until a bad body is located. Marks the bad body with a white i, and the check stops.
Enable Advance Healing checkbox	Select to heal the parts after the import process. Alters the geometry slightly so that you can stitch the surfaces.
Auto Stitch and Promote check box	Select to stitch surfaces upon import. If stitching results in a solid body, it is promoted to the part environment as a solid body. Available when you select surface data to create as a construction group.
